�DONATIONS ARE NOT NEEDED, THEY GO TO THIS WEBSITE, NOT J4B*�

On November 18, 1992, 15 yr old Beth Brodie died at the brutal hands of Richard C. Baldwin in a friend’s home in Groveland, Massachusetts. After refusing his advances, he killed Beth with multiple blows to the head using a metal baseball bat. Just before swinging, he proclaimed he always wanted to be a baseball player. He was tried as an adult and found guilty of murder in the first degree by reason of premeditation and extreme atrocity of cruelty.  Sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole. The justice system promised the victim’s family that he would be in prison without chance of parole. Due to a 2013 judicial ruling that changed the law, this long-suffering family has been further aggrieved by this convicted murderer who is again requesting parole on Thursday, May 16, 2024. He previously cancelled his scheduled hearings in 2014 and 2019. This is not justice! This is torturous to the family. Beth doesn't get a 2nd chance, why should he!? Below is a family statement opposing the parole. 

April 7, 2024,Brodie Family Statement, Opposition to Parole

We, the Brodie Family, adamantly oppose any consideration of parole for Beth’s killer.  Our pain and suffering have not subsided since Beth was taken from us.  It has, in fact, increased more pain, suffering and tears for us and Beth’s large circle of friends.  The impending threat of parole is re-traumatizing and cannot be mitigated by the mere passage of time.  Granting parole would only serve to undermine justice and disregard the severity of the crime committed.  Releasing this offender would, without a doubt, pose a continued threat to society.  We urge the parole board to uphold the original sentencing and deny any requests for parole.

Please sign to help us show the parole board the support we have to stop his parole. #JusticeForBethBrodie
